Compared to last week: Combined weighted average for 7 auctions: Ada, Apache, McAlester, OKC, OKC West, Tulsa, and Woodward. Feeder steers sold 1.00-4.00 higher. Feeder heifers mixed on the week but mostly steady to 1.00 higher. Calf trends were mixed this week but number of days weaned played an important role in the value. Long weaned calves traded higher and short weaned, fleshy calves sold lower. Fall is upon us and temperatures have cooled into the 40's at night, however the 7 day forecast has temps moving back to the mid to upper 80's. These wide swings prove tough on the health of a newly weaned calf. Wheat planting is in full swing across the state and some wheat has already emerged. Slaughter cows 2.00-8.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 1.00-6.00 lower. Packer demand light to moderate as fall culling season has begun.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.

Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Oklahoma barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
